  https://www.sigvaris.com/en-gb/expertise/medical/lipoedema

  Compression wear is one very important element in the treatment of lipoedema. […] Medical compression therapy applies a type of elastic device on limbs or other body parts to exert a controlled pressure on them. Thereby, the device squeezes the vein walls together and improves the circulatory rate. Medical compression also helps with reduction of oedema and recreates conditions beneficial for the healing of chronic inflammatory disorders. […] Surgical procedures are indicated if despite thorough conservative treatment symptoms persist, or if there is progression of clinical findings and/or symptoms. If present, morbid obesity should be therapeutically addressed prior to liposuction. Following liposuction, patients should wear compression garments for several weeks.

  Treatment for Lipoedema is mostly conservative. The disease is not curable. The treatment thus focuses on relieving swelling and avoiding water retention in the cells. A few proven measures include: […] Simple changes in day to day lifestyle can have significant benefits in treating lymphedema. Regular exercise to lose weight and stay healthy reduces the stress on the arms and hands with swelling. Weight loss and reducing obesity, for example, helps relieve pain and discomfort in most patients. […] Strict dietary changes are highly recommended. Following a lipedema diet which is low in sugars, carbohydrates and fats should be followed. […] Exercise can help lose weight as well as increase the blood circulation through the affected arms and hands. […] Compression therapy is the gentle application of pressure on the affected area using a medical compression bandage. […] Regular use of a compression bandage is instrumental in preventing the progression of lipoedema. […] Compression stockings like the VenoTrain CuraFlow, are particularly effective in both preventing and managing the progression of lipoedema.

  As with all long term conditions the treatment for lipoedema will encourage establishing the best treatment plan for that person and giving them the strategies to be experts in their own self management. […] People with lipoedema can often be overweight, so to reduce the symptoms of lipoedema and prevent it becoming worse, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and weight (rather than dieting for weight loss). […] It has been shown that regular exercise can reduce inflammation and it increases blood flow and oxygen in the adipose tissue (fat). […] Compression therapy may have an anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues and can improve microcirculation so wearing compressive sportswear, lycra-style leggings or compression hosiery can make your legs feel more comfortable. […] In March 2022, the national Institute of Clinical Guidelines (NICE) concluded that there is not enough evidence to support recommending liposuction for lipoedema, and it should only be undertaken as part of a research project. […] If you think you have lipoedema or if you feel that your mental health is affected by lipoedema you should get in touch with your primary health care professional.

  https://lipedemaproject.org/treatment-for-lipedema/

  Conservative treatment includes a complete array of non-surgical approaches to treating lipedema and lymphedema, and is often referred to as Comprehensive Decongestive Therapy (CDT). […] For patients who have lipedema but do not have lymphedema, CDT along with diet and exercise can help curtail the progression of the disease. […] Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a unique therapeutic method of stimulating lymphatic fluid movement in the tissues. […] While MLD is a specialized form of massage designed to support the lymphatic system, regular massage can be helpful in breaking up fibrotic areas where connective tissue begins to harden. […] Compression garments are considered the gold standard for conservative lymphedema treatment. […] Pneumatic compression devices consist of an inflatable garment for various parts of the body and can include each arm, each leg, the trunk, or the chest and an electrical pneumatic pump that fills the garment with compressed air.

  https://www.usz.ch/en/department/angiology/service/lipedema-therapy/

  Decongestive therapy is carried out for the rest of the patients life, otherwise the water retention will return. […] Manual lymphatic drainage should be performed once or twice a week. A medical masseuse or masseur gently strokes the skin along the lymph channels with their fingers. This shifts fluids between the cells in the direction of the lymph channels and stimulates decongestion. This treatment activates the lymph channels to better drain even non-displaced fluid. This also has a calming and pain-relieving effect for those affected, but is time-consuming. After manual lymphatic drainage, a compression bandage is applied to maintain the result (reduction in circumference). […] Compression therapy should be carried out with bandages in the initial decongestion phase and with compression stockings in the maintenance phase, especially if a reduction in circumference is expected under decongestive measures. In the majority of cases, the shape of the extremity and the nature of the tissue mean that compression stockings need to be made to measure (so-called flat-knit stockings). Compression stockings from stock (circular knit materials) are only suitable for mild lipedema.

  Lipoedema can be successfully managed with a variety of consistent techniques and therapies, which help to alleviate oedema, pain and delay the progressive nature of lipoedema. […] Lipoedema patients may consider liposuction as a way of reducing fat tissue. However, only liposuction using tumescent local anesthesia with a vibrating micro cannula is recommended. […] An anti-inflammatory diet high in anti-oxidants will help to minimise oedema by strengthing the vascular system. […] Regular exercise, particular power walking, walking, cycling etc, helps to increase the lymph flow. […] Regular manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) helps to reduce dependent oedema (early stages) and lymphoedema (later stages). […] Ideally compression tights or stockings should be worn daily to assist the lymph flow and support lose connective tissue. […] Combined decongestive therapy (CDT) is an intensive type treatment, which combines MLD and bandaging to reduce oedema and therefore reduce the allover volume of the limbs.

  https://www.usz.ch/en/department/angiology/service/lipedema-therapy/

  Although lipedema does not respond to weight loss, it is important to maintain a normal and stable weight. If you are of normal weight and continue to eat a varied and healthy diet, you should try to maintain your weight. If you are overweight, it makes sense to lose weight. A diet with fewer carbohydrates and sufficient protein has proven effective for lipedema. […] Among sporting activities, those in water appear to be particularly effective (swimming, aqua jogging, aqua aerobics, aqua cycling), as the buoyancy relieves the joints, the water pressure causes lymphatic drainage and calories are burned through movement against the water resistance. Strength training alone is not very effective for weight loss; there is no comparable evidence to endurance training. […] Nevertheless, psychological support from an expert is also important, as lipoedema is unfortunately not curable, but a lifelong burden.
